What it is: Someone (me this time) fills a large USPS Priority Mail Flate Rate Box full of retro related items and sends it to another member. They take out what they want, fill it back up and send it to the next person. It keeps going until it returns to the original sender.

History: The first Retro Junk Box started as a collaboration between The Retro League and Cartoon Retrocast podcasts. It has also been done by The Retroist and The Retro Junkies Network.

Who can participate: This is open to members in good standing who have reached Orange Status (or successful traders here) and above, live in the US and have been active in the forums or chats during the last month. (See your avatar to see the fruits you have earned)

What is required: Participants must send the box out within 3 days of getting it, pay for the postage to send it out ($17.90 in store or $15.80 online) and must post a photo or video of what they took out. (leave the rest as a mystery!)

Other Notes: Since it is free to do so with Priority Mail, I would insure the box for $50 to help pay to fill another one in the unlikely event that the USPS ever lost it. Please keep the box mostly (at least 51%) gaming related. Newer items are ok if they are retro related in some way. Please try to be fair in what you replace value wise and please no duplicate games on the same system. Please avoid putting in broken items/games if possible. Feel free to reuse and decorate the box!

If you meet the requirements and agree to the terms, please let me know by responding to the thread along with what state you are located in so I can begin to order the list. DO NOT POST YOUR FULL ADDRESS HERE

Also, if you want to be the first to get the box, let me know. Normally hints aren't given, but for the first person the box has been filled and includes some Nintendo stuff, Atari stuff and one nice, larger Sega item.

I don't think I'll be able to join in, sorry. My financial situation being the way it is, I literally cannot replace anything into the box, and getting something shipped out within three days would be next to impossible for me.
